American Ink May 2011

This is the card I made to swap at our May American Ink card day. I'm finally getting the hang of the difference between a Swap, Workshop, Technique and a Class. There is so much to learn when you are just starting out as a Demonstrator.

About Me

I'm Mary Ann and I'm a former cake decorating instructor of many years, but since you can "eat your mistakes" which isn't good for the hips, I switched to papercrafting. I belong to a high energy group of Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and I'm having the time of my life. I've learned so much in a short time and will gladly show you how easy it is to create beautiful masterpieces without any effort.
I was born and raised in Del Rio, Texas then migrated far away to the beautiful state of Washington. I met a wonderful man, married him in a little white church on June 9, 1961. I was so spoiled for 52 years until sadly my white knight had a heart attack and passed away in his sleep on June 13, 2013.. All those years he put up with my wonderful, crazy hobbies including papercrafting and never said a word when the UPS truck pulled up with Stampin' UP! deliveries. We have two daughters, one son-in-law, three terrific grandchildren and one granddaughter in-law. On March 8th of this year we were blessed with a beautiful little great granddaughter. A future papercrafter!
